Can anyone suggest freeware programs that are as effective as Outlook
Calendar for organising your day? ie book meetings, schedule tasks,
notes, etc... View by day, month, etc.

Many thanks
Mat.

If you want something in the Windows world, try Sidekick98. Includes
calendar, Addresses, ToDo, plus the ability to build HTML version of
Calendar and Contacts. It's on my site somewhere:
http://home.wi.rr.com/johnhood/freeware/ check the Office applications
page.

I can't remember if palm desktop is freeware or not...but it wouldn't
hurt to look. Other than that, Mozilla can be used much like Outlook,
by adding the calendar extension and note extension. Re palm
desktop...of course, it's made for palm users, but it functions
virtually identically to Outlook wrt meetings, tasks, notes, etc... Of
course, you'd need to use a separate app for email.

I will most enthusiastically second that recommendation of SideKick (I
think you can also print out Daytimer pages from it) and if you don't
like it, try the Palm Desktop 4.1, available at Palm's site or on Son of
Spy (check Pricelessware.org for the URL under "member's web pages" or
some similar link)

Well, I wasn't the one asking, but I grabbed it just the same. Thanks
for the pointer. Can't have too much freeware, you know. <G>

I notice that there exists a Sidekick99. Any particular reason why you
recommend Sidekick98?

Thanks.
 
Thanks guys, forgot to mention. Windows platform. Evolution is a
definite pick under linux. Wish someone could compile it for windows!

Something's wrong somewhere. Seven zips for a single application? I thought
I downloaded all of them and the patch, then discovered that all the files
were empty. I tired with Firebird, NetCaptor and even pure IE via Star
Downloader and without. Nothing? What's the secret?

Here's an interesting web-based alternative - open a free email
account at myrealbox.com and check out the functions of the calendar,
address book, etc. Comprehensive and easy to use.

Sidekick and the Palm desktop both work in Windows.
 
Personally I don't trust those sites not to be some type of spyware.

I agree in most cases, but myrealbox.com is trustworthy. This
particular free email service is operated by Novell Corp. for the
purpose of testing their software.

DC -

Only reason is that I couldn't seem to come up with a working link for
downloading Sidekick99 when I was testing. I only recommend what I've seen.
That's it. If you find SK99 somewhere, want to give it a go and tell me
what you think?

Well, I downloaded both 98 and 99 from the link you provide on your
site. Haven't tried 'em yet, though. Will report back when I have.

Uhm, the same place where you can find Sidekick 98,
<URL:http://siderealb0x.250free.com/>, right along with SK95 and SK97.
Installation is a total bitch, though -- it seems you *have* to write
the files to floppies to be able to install the thing. Dunno about you,
but I'm not willing to juggle a bunch of floppies to try out a piece of
downloadable software.

All fine and dandy, but the problem is it wouldn't be accessible should
internet service be interrupted. I would only use a calender on my hard
drive.
